The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has issued 11 recalls in June, covering some of the UK’s best-selling models.

The largest is for the Ford Kuga, with 4404 models being recalled over a screen washer problem. Apparently the heated jets can overheat, resulting in heat or fire damage to the nozzle, jet element and grille.

One of the more serious issues to arise over the past few weeks involves the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 4x4, with more than 500 being affected by a steering column fault. According to the DVSA bulletin, the loose coupling could lead to excessive wear and complete loss of steering control.

Mercedes-Benz is also recalling selected models of the C-Class and E-Class, due to a problem with the power steering motor; however, this only affects a handful of cars built between 2014 and 2016.

Where's all the Dacia recalls???
I was given a hard time off my mates for buying a Dacia who has the last laugh. Dab radio, cruise control, parking sensors, 7" multi media screen , satnav plus averaging 47 mpg all for £8,500 with 5 years Warranty.

I own a Peugeot 308 estate 1.6 diesel, 2015 reg. Well pleased with purchase but a few months later, heard a rattle noise from the underside mainly heard at low speed or the dreaded speed humps!

Arranged appointment with Peugeot dealership and they confirmed the rattle noise was due to rear axle component defect.

Have since moved in May and booked my car in for service with a local Peugeot dealership and they also confirmed they had dealt with several 308 models with same rear axle issue. My car is due for attention on Friday 1 July.

Borrowing £7,500 over 4 years with a representative APR of 25.4%, an annual interest rate of 25.4% (Fixed) and a deposit of £0.00, the amount payable would be £239.77 per month, with a total cost of credit of £4,008.96 and a total amount payable of £11,508.96.
